Legislators have given the citizens of Hampton a month to put together a plan and meet some specific demands. Hamptons regular monthly meeting will be Tuesday, March 11, at 7 p.m. Worth Noting Overpass on the agenda BY MARK J. CRAWFORD Telegraph Editor Starke City Commissioners were glad to hear March 4 that the Florida Department of Transportation will begin studying one of the citys biggest wish list itemsa railroad overpass. The $220,000 programmed into the FDOT budget will fund the necessary project development and environmental study, which is step one. The lack of a railroad overpass has long been seen as a critical issue for the city and county. Train traffic can block multiple roadways at once and completely prevent emergency services from getting east of the CSX line, obstructing access to the hospital or eastside residents in need of assistance. It is truly a project at its beginning, as FDOTs Jordan Green said they have no idea where the overpass will go. Staff is open to suggestions, he said. The project could be built on an existing road or highway, or encompass constructing a new road. Green said they know the number of trains is going to increase, and that will increase the number of traffic jams. There are some logistical problems to keep in mind. There are standards like height over the railroad that must be considered. The minimum height is 25 feet, Green said, and it will take a good length of roadway to get traffic that high and then back down. FDOT will be talking further with the city about location of the overpass, but Green said it is next to impossible that the project wont impact some homes and businesses. Im not going to sit here and tell you its going to be easy. Its going to be a challenge, he said. Mayor Carolyn Spooner said the fact that its on FDOTs agenda is progress. Election year Are you considering running? BY MARK J. CRAWFORD Telegraph Editor It may be a midterm election, but some important offices will be filled by voters, including governor of the state and the cabinet positions, congressional representatives, and state representatives. No less important are the local offices up for election. Many Bradford County voters be choosing their county commissioner or school board member. The county commission seats currently held by Doyle Thomas and Danny Riddickthe commissioners for District 2 and District 4will be open. The current terms for school board members from Districts 1, 2 and 5Archie Kittles, Stacey Creighton and Roman Alvarezare also coming to a close. The offices offer the opportunity to serve the community and represent the interests of the voters in those districts as well as citizens countywide. They are also salaried positions. County commissioners currently earn $30,962 a year. School board members earn $26,288. County commission candidates are partisan, which mean the candidates run as members of their political party. School board races are nonpartisan. Candidates can qualify by gathering signatures or by paying a qualifying fee, which is based on the salary of the office. To qualify by petition, local candidates must turn in signatures to the supervisor of elections by noon on May 19. Qualifying week is noon on Monday, June 16, to noon on Friday, June 20, for local offices as well as for governor, the cabinet, and state senator and representative. (The qualifying period for judicial candidates and U.S. representative is noon on April 28 to noon on May 2.) The primary election is on Aug. 26. The general election is on Nov. 4. Early voting before each election will available for a minimum of eight days. The final day to register to vote in the primary is July 28. For the general election, it is Oct. 6.

Prospective candidates are encouraged to call the elections office at 904-966-6266 to set up an appointment and consultation regarding the handbook. A candidate workshop is scheduled for Monday, April 14, at 6 p.m. in the county commission room, located in the north wing of the courthouse. During the workshop, Vaughan will cover all angles of becoming a candidate, from campaign finance to reporting contributions and expenditures. New laws governing campaigns will also be discussed. BY MARK J. CRAWFORD Telegraph Editor Is a positive story ready to emerge out of Hamptons loads of bad press? The answer is in the hands of its citizens, who were given a month to begin implementing some major changes and put together a plan to address the mismanagement found by a state audit. Sen. Rob Bradley and Rep. Charles Van Zant have kept the ball rolling toward abolishment by approving a local bill to dissolve the city, but that will only move forward to the full legislature if they are unsatisfied with the citizens efforts over the next few weeks. At the well-attended meeting of the legislative delegation on Feb. 27, almost no one spoke against the town, except for the legislators, who sometimes seemed frustrated that the corruption discovered by the audit hadnt infuriated residents. Angry or not, the citizens primary concern was that Hampton not lose its charter. As Myrtice McCullough, the acting mayor, told legislators, other cities have received worse audits, but they were not dissolved. Hampton deserves a chance, she said. Bradley began the meeting by reading about the audit findings and repeating a question he had posed to McCullough in Tallahassee: How does the citys existence improve the quality of life of its 477 residents? She couldnt answer him then. Bradley said the disappearance of one layer of government would not leave residents without services, including water service, the future management of which has been a primary concern. Assets of the city would become county assets, and the county could find another public agency or a private company to administer the water system. The sheriff would provide law enforcement. The U.S. Post Office would remain open, as would the elementary school, said Bradley, who is from unincorporated Fleming Island. You dont lose your sense of community just because an unnecessary layer of government goes away, he said. The actual town will not be abolished, but remain a viable community of citizens, Van Zant said, saying areas like Fleming Island and Middleburg thrive without an additional layer of municipal government. Help us Citizens spent the better part of two hours trying to explain what the city meant to them. That included County Commissioner Danny Riddick, who was involved in bringing complaints about Hamptons government to legislators, but who asked why the drastic step of dissolving the city was being taken REFORM: THE FAIR IS BACK!

Y our Husband Truman & FamilyMar ch 3, 1938 May 1, 2012 Lake Butler girls take top honors BY MARK J. CRAWFORD Telegraph Editor Hannah Tucker of Lake Butler became the 52 nd Strawberry Queen at the pageant held in Bradford County March 1. While they are also judged on a preshow interview with the judges, contestants are heard only briefly during the on-stage competition. Tucker made the most of her time, responding to an onstage question about role models by talking about the importance of self-confidence and teaching kids to love themselves. Also propelling her to the top was her vocal and guitar performance of the song Jolene by Dolly Parton, which had the audience clapping along. Tucker was voted Miss Congeniality by her fellow contestants, as well. The 23-year-old is the daughter of Jay and Marcie Tucker of Lake Butler. She is a graduate of Union County High School as well as Florida Gateway College, where she was on the Presidents List. She is a substitute teacher in Union County who wants to become a flight paramedic. She was sponsored by Hair Biz and Emerson Nursery and Rental Plants. Winning trophies in the evening gown and talent competitions was 2014 Strawberry Princess Madison Gibson. Madison danced to Seeing for the First Time to reflect her relationship with God. Asked by judges what makes her a good leader, she said she is unique and different, loves God, and helps with her five younger siblings. Madison is the daughter of Bobby and Narie Gibson of Lake Butler and is in the eighth grade at Lake Butler Middle School, where she is president of the Drama Club. She was sponsored by Gene and Shary Gordon and GatorForce Technologies. The princess contest had a runner-up, and it was Lake Butler Middle School eighth-grader Bobbie Grace Barber. Bobbie Grace had the support of the audience, winning the Peoples Choice Award, and impressed the pageant directors as well, taking home their special award. She is the daughter of Robert and Rhonda Barber of Lake Butler, and was sponsored by Decker & Pomeranz Dentistry, and Stan & Bobbie Lehman. Princess contestant Ciarra Hopkins was judged Most Photogenic, while queen contestant Allayna Norris was best dressed among her competition, winning trophies for her casual wear and evening gown. (She was also awarded for ticket sales.) Shelby McDowell won the casual wear award in the princess competition. Also competing were Shannon Rosier, Mykayla McLeod, Farrah Duhart and Ashley OSteen. The pageant organization, Bradford County Community Women, recognized Vorease Jones for her longtime volunteerism and support of the pageant. Last years royals, Kelsey Harrison and Alexa Park, recognized pageant directors Lauren Allen VanDuzer and Tiffany Rowe Gemelli with gifts. Amanda Giddens served as emcee, and students from Kelly Christy Dance Academy gave a special performance. More than $4,000 in prizes were given away, including a $1,500 scholarship and $500 cash prize to the Strawberry Queen and a $500 prize to the Strawberry Princess. become Strawberry Princess.

He also inverted the legislators question about the benefit of Hampton, asking how dissolving the city would benefit residents. A lot of these are my friends. I grew up in Hampton, and Im very, very concerned with whats going to happen to the city, he said. The question of criminal charges came up more than once. Legislators said the state auditing committee had written the state attorneys office about an investigation, and they later voted to send another letter as members of the local legislative delegation. Sheriff Gordon Smith confirmed action is being taken to pursue the people who used the city of Hampton as their own personal pocket book. The citizens wanted justice, but they also asked for mercy and a helping hand. I have no doubt we can make our community operate like a well-oiled machine again and that it would be a benefit, said Lori Hardee. I just think we need the opportunity and the chance to rebuild our community, as well as help from our state representatives. She said if the legislators were right, then the citizens have been victimized by their leadership, but taking the city away would further victimize them. Ada Cox said she was born 65 years ago in Hampton and talked about her familys role in the citys history, including her fathers role in incorporating and running the city. There were no changes overnight, she said, but time brought streetlights, a fire department, recreation and law enforcement. She said the in the last few years, the city has been run by people with big heads who let their greed get in the way. Good leadership, good morals, good government practices is what Hampton needs, Cox said. The people need to vote for the right leaders and make sure there are checks and balances in place so they are accountable, she said. James Parker admitted everyone should have been paying closer attention. Were all guilty, but we all would like another chance, he said. County Commissioner Eddie Lewis, relating the matter to his own experience, said he has lost everything and is scared to death, and the people of Hampton are scared and afraid of what they could lose, too. You need to help them. I want to see you help them if you can, he said. Further accusations Hampton has been vilified in much of the media coverage. One blogger (taking swipe at the city and the state) called Hampton The Most Florida Town Ever. Emory Eunice, who said he doesnt live in the city, took exception to such hyperbole, including the ranking of Hampton by one paper as the states top speed trap. He defended the enforcement of speed limits and said locals shouldnt support the term speed trap and its connotations. Respect of law enforcement should be taught and upheld, he said. He also called out Bradley for referring to Hamptons circumstances as something out of a Southern gothic novel, suggesting its inhabitants are off kilter or amoral. Bradley said he has the utmost respect for the citizens of Hampton, but he said he has been clear in his assessment about the facts concerning the city officials and their behavior. That he views in a very negative light, he said. Eunice went on to say if governments are being dissolved for incompetence, then thats what should happen in Washington, D.C. While he was applauded, Van Zant called him off track and almost out of order. He called on Sheriff Smith to speak to the legality of Hamptons speed enforcement, and he did, detailing the unsworn officers and the tickets written outside the citys jurisdiction. Those actions eventually raised questions about how the entire city was operating, Smith said. Bradley said you couldnt not equate what Hampton was doing to the genuine law enforcement being carried out by agencies like the sheriffs office. This is about a town of 477 people having over a dozen officers. That is insane, folks, Bradley said. It was Van Zants turn to be vilified. David Wilcox called the representative a bully, accusing him of throwing a fit when Hampton ticketed him. Youre not above the law. You have no right to decimate this town because you got a speeding ticket, Wilcox said. Van Zant said his 2011 ticket was not contested. He said he came to the courthouse, checkbook in hand, and paid the fine without further mention. He said he is not a bully, and, holding a thick stack of audit documents up for everyone to see, said this malfeasance is why we are here. What we have is an audit that points to broken laws, he said. Freddy Johnson claimed the audit isnt even complete. He said his wife was originally hired to replace City Clerk Jane Hall. He said the interview process included promising that Halls son would not be fired. Once on the job, he said his wife found documents the auditors had been searching for, but she was not allowed to bring them forward after consulting with the mayor. Then she was fired. He also criticized the city attorney, John Maines, who he said should have known better than to have allowed nepotism and other unlawful practices, particularly considering the money he was paid. But Johnson wasnt necessarily in favor of dissolving the city, saying it was time to get rid of the current officials and start over. Divine intervention? A pair of Baptist preachers spoke last. Aaron Morgan grew up in Hampton, and he said he moved back there because he wanted to make a difference and address what he called the towns spiritual decline. What I know is Hampton is an area of depression. It has lost the grandeur of history. No longer is it the apple of Bradford Countys eye, he said. That leads many to question him about why he wants to be a pastor in Hampton, but he tells them its because they need it. Lets not give up on Hampton, Morgan said. Im trying to do it in a spiritual way, but we need your help to do it in a legislative way. Teach us. We need to be taught instead of smacked. Dan Williams followed, saying the people of Hampton had dropped the ball, but it would be a mistake to assume that the people dont care about their town. Unfortunately, he said, the citys reputation isnt based on the lives, loves and labors of the people who have lived there, giving of themselves to lead the city and raise its children. These are people who are the reason we should save Hampton, he said, adding the towns legacy is alive and well. What can be in the past can be again. Dont take a shotgun to the fly, said Williams, adding cooperation could solve Hamptons problems. He called for less passion and more deliberation. There is talent in this room, and there is talent here that I know can save this town, he said. The verdict Legislators came saying they were here to listen to the public because their minds were not made up. John Wayne Hersey asked them for morethat they specifically lay out what steps need to be taken. Hersey said there were good people in Hampton who did not deserved to be crucified for what others had done. The town was once Bradford Countys Mayberry, he said. Bradley couldnt agree with the sentiment that Hampton should stay just because the people had spoken out. He said there were others who didnt speak up for whatever reason who did not agree, and he said people outside the city are affected by what happens there as well. He offered as an example the citys ignorance of where nearly half the water it pumps out of the ground goes. He wouldnt be doing his duty if he turned a blind eye to that, he said. But Van Zant said he and Bradley were willing to work with the citizens of Hampton to see if the improvements people said were possible could be realized. With that he gave some specific guidelines, first making any future for Hamptons government contingent on the resignation of those in office and the election of a new city council and mayor. Some of you who spoke here tonight and have the character to serve might want to run, Van Zant said. I dont want to see this old crowd back in. If we do, then Im going to push forward with this legislation to dissolve the town. The town must address the water system, including the environmental damage of the water loss. Hampton must also adopt its original boundaries, relinquishing the strip of U.S. 301 it annexed for the purpose of writing speeding tickets. Forget my ticket, Van Zant said. When I got my ticket, you couldnt hardly pass by Hampton, Florida, without getting a ticket. The year before that happened, Hampton wrote nearly 5,000 ticketsmore than almost every other larger city in the state, he said. Thats not law enforcement, he said; its banking using the federal highway system. Van Zant wants the city to go back to its roots with a daytime and a nighttime marshal, and a city clerk with knowledge of accounting. And there should be no more relatives of elected officials on the payroll. I would like to see Hampton thrive. Im willing to help you do that if youre willing to help you do that and start moving in the right direction with the right people doing the right things, Van Zant said. Bradley agreed, saying he heard a lot of promises, but he needs to see action. He said he wants to see people come together, but he also wants to see that they know what they are getting into, including dealing with the cost of running the town. He wanted to see balance between revenues and expenditures, and a plan to eliminate the citys debt. He also admonished the city officials to meet in the sunshine, advertising all of their meetings in the newspaper so the public has adequate notice. I want commitment and a real plan, because the citizens havent gotten that, Bradley said. I want everyone to live in a community that theyre proud of, but everyone has to leave here tonight understanding that what has happened is unacceptable, and it cannot happen ever again. It should outrage you like it outrages me. Bradley and Van Zant plan to return in a few weeks. In the meantime, the city has planned a series of meetings that will begin tonight, Thursday, March 6, at 7 p.m. at Hampton City Hall. HAMPTON Continued from 1A Candidates are encouraged to bring those who plan to play support roles in their campaign to take part in the orientation. To reserve your seat, call the elections office at 904-966-6266. Of the 29 governor candidates with active accounts, most of the attention in the governors race is on incumbent Republican Rick Scott, and Charlie Crist, the former governor who is now a Democrat. Chief Financial Officer Jeff Atwater, Commissioner of Agriculture Adam Putnam and Attorney General Pam Bondi, all Republicans, also have declared opponents. George Sheldon and Perry Thurston Jr. are running for attorney general, William Rankin is running for CFO, and Thad Hamilton is running for the agriculture office. They are all Democrats. According to the Florida Division of Elections incumbent U.S. Rep. Ted Yoho, a Republican, has some competition from Democratic challengers Aquasia Johnson McDowell and Marihelen Wheeler. The district covers all of Bradford, Union, Gilchrist, Columbia, Levy, Suwannee, Dixie, Lafayette and Hamilton counties, as well as most of Clay and Alachua and portions of Marion and Madison. State Rep. Charles Van Zant has no declared opposition right now in District 19, which covers Bradford, Union and Putnam counties, as well as much of Clay. Judges with expiring terms will also be on the ballot. QUALIFY Continued from 1A Election coverage guidelines announced Candidates should take note of submission deadlines BY MARK J. CRAWFORD Telegraph Editor The management of the Bradford County Telegraph, the Union County Times and the Lake Region Monitor would like to announce guidelines set up for coverage of upcoming elections and election-related events. All three newspapers have a policy of allowing candidates in local county races to submit one free article announcing their candidacy. The announcement can be accompanied by one photograph. This article and photograph will be run free of charge, but no announcement will be run for free after the Thursday, June 26, edition. Preferably, candidate announcements and photos should be emailed to editor@ bctelegraph.com, lrmonitor@ bellsouth.net or uctimes@ windstream.net. Otherwise, articles should be typed and of a reasonable length when submitted directly to one of our offices. (Two double-spaced pages is a good guideline.) Submissions should include a phone number where the candidate can be contacted during business hours in case any question arises. The final day to qualify for local political office by paying qualifying fees is Friday, June 20, at noon. (The final day to qualify by the petition method is May 19.) Therefore, every candidate should be prepared to announce his or her decision to seek office by the Thursday after that final qualifying date. No free announcements will be accepted by the newspaper offices after deadline for the June 26 paper. That means the submission deadline is Monday, June 23, at 5 p.m. We reserve the right to determine when to run these announcements as space availability is a factor. Other guidelines are as follows: No fundraiser for a local candidate will be announced for free or covered by newspaper personnel. Local events where See ELECTION, 8A

4A Bradford County Telegraph Thursday, March 6, 2014 A nniversary CelebrationSunday March 9th 3:30 PMEveryone Welcome!9049645843Pleasant Grove Pleasant GroveUN ITED METHODIST CHURCH School BMS band students excel at competition On Feb. 21, 36 Bradford Middle School band students participated in the statesponsored Solo and Ensemble Festival (which was hosted at Buchholz High School in Gainesville). This event is held one time each year and features middle and high school students from across North Central Florida on a volunteer basis. In preparation for the festival, students spend weeks (and sometimes months) selecting literature to perform and practicing alone and with a pianist who will eventually accompany him/her for their final performance, which is always adjudicated by a state certified judge for a published rating. BMS Band Director Michael Loffredo said this extra challenge is not for everyone. Students must work tirelessly to learn new notes, new rhythms and sometimes play completely different styles of music, which certainly goes above and beyond the regular classroom curriculum. This year, a whopping 51 percent of the entire middle school band program signed up and seized the opportunity to learn their solo literature and to represent Bradford County at the competition. Overall, 17 BMS students received a superior (the highest rating given to instrumentalists by the Florida Bandmasters Association). Following, 14 students were awarded an excellent rating, and five received a good rating (on a five-level grading scale). Loffredo, who is in his first year teaching at BMS, said that the students were both excited and well prepared and as ambassadors of the Bradford County School District. The students received many compliments on their good behavior, polite manner and on their playing ability. The BMS Band Program is proud to recognize all of the following superior performances: Luis Castro (6 th grade clarinet), Gregory Waring (6 th grade clarinet), Zion Council (6 th grade clarinet), James Dreyfuss (6 th grade alto saxophone), Muskaan Patel (6 th grade trumpet), Naomi Stading (6 th grade trumpet), Jewel Stifel (6 th grade french horn), Summer Atteberry (6 th grade trombone), Trevor Pittman (6 th grade tuba), Ben Miller (7 th grade clarinet), JaQuez Mosley (7 th grade tuba), Taylor Moore (7 th grade flute), Stephanie Nessmith (7 th grade clarinet), Jaleen Lane (7 th grade trumpet), Miles Paulmino (7 th grade trumpet), Corey Strong (8 th grade trumpet) and Isaac Williams (7 th grade baritone), as well as the rest of the student performers: Rachel Roper, Christina Traylor, Brittany Murphy, Devin Powell, Dylan Snyder, Todd Smith, Taven Tyson, Mya Kamienowski, Faythlyn Garland, Holly Pendarvis, Bryan Davis, Collin Starling, Caleb Hopkins, Jada Thomas, Vanessa Shoonover, Tylan Davis, Shaytron Cotton, Celeste Holmes and Nicklaus Bailes. Loffredo said the event could not have been possible without the help and dedication of piano accompanists Judy Becker, Dayna Gonzalez and Owen Gonzalez, as well as the band parent chaperones and the overwhelming support from the BMS administration and staff. Sunshine State Scholar announced 2014 Sunshine State Scholar, an honor bestowed by the Florida Education Foundation.

Readers who wish to pose gardening questions should forward them to Jim DeValerio at jtd@ufl.edu. Finally it is warming up and plants and insects both will soon be activated by the wonderful weather. This has prompted me to share an article penned by Master Gardener Volunteer Wendy Helmey-Hartman (who is an expert on insects) for the Cutting Edge Extension newsletter. If you spend any time in the garden or digging in the dirt around your home you have surely seen this strange looking insect with a pincher on its rear end! Many believe that all insects are bad but this is not true. Most insects exist without affecting humans. Many are beneficial and relatively few are harmful. Read on to learn about the good and not-so-good qualities of earwigs! Earwigs In Florida, we typically find two different species of earwigs: the ring-legged earwig and the European earwig. Although the ring-legged earwig is more common than the European earwig, neither species is usually found in large numbers in Florida. Both species of earwigs are usually brown in color and approximately inch in length as adults. They can live more than 200 days as adults. Their most prominent feature is a pair of pincer-like projections (known as cerci) from the posterior end of the adults. These cerci can be used for defense, frequently against another earwig. The juvenile earwigs (nymphs) are similar in appearance to the adults but smaller. The eggs are pale in color and are deposited in the soil. Interestingly, the mother earwig tends the eggs, protecting them both from mold and predators. Earwigs are primarily active at night but can be found in dark locations, such as leaf litter and under rocks, during the day. When active, earwigs will feed on both plant and animal matter. These insects can be minor pests on plants such as lettuce, radish, potato and cauliflower. They will feed both below ground and above ground on plants. However, they are also beneficial predators of other plant pests such as aphids, caterpillar pupae and scale insects. Earwigs can also be cannibalistic. Earwigs do not normally need to be artificially suppressed. The natural enemies of earwigs are primarily parasitic flies and fungi. However, the cannibalistic behavior of adult earwigs also regulates the survival of eggs and nymphs. Earwigs are also typically susceptible to residual insecticides as well as baits for control of mole crickets. If earwig abundance is a problem, moistened rolled newspapers can be placed in a garden overnight and disposed of as the newspaper makes a convenient trap. Earwigs have an interesting appearance and rarely cause significant damage in a home garden. In fact, they often provide a valuable service as predators of other garden pests. As a result, earwigs are likely an insect that you can enjoy seeing in your garden (if youre up at night or looking in dark hiding places)! Church First Presbyterian Church of Starke 921 E.

Construction will be bid sometime after July 1, 2015. Per the governors mandate, FDOT is as concerned with economic development as any other state agency. The economy is built on people spending money, and Green said FDOT does its share. In this district alone, FDOT will be spending approximately $900 million this year on 80 transportation projects that create jobs. The bypass was designed to help, not hurt, the local economy, Green said, by relieving congestion and preventing gridlock. Green spoke about the Southeast 144 th Avenue project, as well. It will also impact Starke by moving the Deerfoot Shopping Center traffic signal north to tie into the countys final construction on 144 th which will provide another bridge between S.R. 100 and U.S. 301 and ease congestion at 301 and S.R. 100. The route, which will take 144 th between IHOP and VyStar, seems extreme, but it eliminates other unwanted impacts to neighborhoods, Green said. That project will be bid sometime after July 1 of this year.

people I work with that do the work. I just feel like they let me think Im in charge. Overstreet laughed at that last comment before adding that its her husband, Grady, family and friends who allow her to do anything. When youre blessed with that, you just get things done, Overstreet said. Ive been very, very lucky to have a support group that has helped me to grow and to expand my world. Its the same approach Overstreet takes in regard to the Bradford County Relay for Life. She served as the chair of the event in 2012 and 2013, BY CLIFF SMELLEY Staff Writer Dimple Overstreet has always been one to get involved in various activities, trying to make the community a better place or helping others, whatever their needs may be. However, it has never been just Overstreet alone. Thats why she doesnt believe shes worthy of being singled out. Cheryl Canova, who has worked alongside Overstreet in various projects and groups, felt otherwise and successfully nominated her for Santa Fe Colleges annual Women of Distinction honor. Overstreet and Alachua County residents Patti Fabiani, Margaret Maples Gilliland, Shelley Fraser Mickle and Yvonne C. Rawls, along with Woman of Promise Haley Johnson, will be recognized during a Thursday, March 13, ceremony at the Fine Arts Hall on Santa Fes Northwest Campus in Gainesville at 5 p.m. Canova said Overstreet is deserving of the honor because of all the work she does in the community, much of which is behind the scenes. She should be recognized for her service to the community, Canova said. Overstreet said it means a lot that someone like Canova, who does so much for the community in her own right, would consider her worthy of such an honor. To know that someone like her, who is fantastic in this community, wouldve even considered methat right there was the honor without even going any farther, Overstreet said. Overstreet, though, just cant see what shes done to earn such an honor. I look at it as I do not do anything, she said. Its the Overstreet is 1 of 5 Women of Distinction Deggeller goes, Hey, thats going to be a good little fair. Why dont we bring this and this? Still, Theus is happy with what Deggeller Attractions is providing this year rides that include Vertigo, a set of swings that tower over the midway, and bumper cars, which the Bradford County Fair hasnt had in some time, Theus said. (A complete list of rides can be viewed on the website www. bradfordcountyfair.net.) Theus is excited about creating different themes for the fair. This years fair is billed as The Bradford Big Top and will feature a circus theme. Helping bring the big top to life will be Nojoes Clown Circus, which features trapeze performances and, of course, clown acts and activities, such as juggling. I saw them at the Jacksonville Fair, and I thought they were really good, Theus said. This years fair will include educational opportunities for children. Fifth-graders received fair passports at school and will fill them out by visiting the trivia boards in the fairs barns and buildings. Students will turn their passports into their teachers for a chance to win a $50 savings bond from Capital City Bank. Children of various ages will get the chance to win BY CLIFF SMELLEY Staff Writer This years Bradford County Fair includes a bit of the familiar, but manager Laura Theus is excited about whats different this year. The fair opens Tuesday, March 11, at 5 p.m. and runs through Sunday, March 16. That, itself, is a change as most recent fairs have been 10 days long. A six-day fair is more likely to have more people present at any given time, Theus said. That, she believes, will create a buzz and make for a more fun event. People will typically come out two, sometimes three, times to the fair, Theus said. When its spread out across 10 days, the crowd looks thin. Its always a lot more fun when there are more people. Another change Theus is excited about is a new midway provider in Deggeller Attractions, the same company that provides the midway for the Clay County Fair. Theus believes Deggeller Attractions will help the Bradford County Fair look better. In time, Deggeller could provide the fair with better rides that people arent used to seeing year after year, but Theus said it will take the support of the community to help bring that about. In other words, the community has to show Deggeller Attractions that the Bradford County Fair can grow and be successful. It may not be everything theyre hoping for, Theus said in regard to the communitys response to this years midway, but were hoping to grow. We need people to come out to our fair in droves this year.

The Coast Guard 17th District 2013 Enlisted Petty Officer of the Year is Petty Officer 1st Class Christopher Taylor, a Melrose native serving as the engineering petty officer at Station Ketchikan, Alaska. Taylors nomination came as a result of his outstanding work maintaining Station Ketchikans 47and 25-foot small boats and the time he has devoted to his shipmates and the community of Ketchikan. Petty Officer Taylor flawlessly manages his duties as the engineering petty officer, said Senior Chief Petty Officer Kevin Smith, commanding officer, Station Ketchikan. His work ensures Station Ketchikan has top performing assets able to respond to mariners in distress and he is fully engaged in the mentorship and care for his subordinates, better preparing the next generation of petty officers for leading in the Coast Guard. Besides serving as co-chair of the Leadership Diversity Advisory Committee for all Ketchikan units, Taylor personally mentored 40 of his shipmates in physical fitness as Station Ketchikans unit health promotion coordinator, managed a five-day training period for 22 students of the Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps and served as an active member of the Coast Guard Enlisted Association. However, Taylors time wasnt solely devoted to aiding his shipmates. Petty Officer Taylor spends an enormous amount of time improving the community of Ketchikan through his many volunteer activities, said Smith. As an active member of many organizations, he leads by example and is truly leaving Ketchikan better than he found it. In addition to his many contributions to the Coast Guard, Taylor found time to join the Ketchikan Rotary and the South Tongass Volunteer Fire Department. His dedication to serving the community also inspired him to volunteer with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Ketchikan and the Partnership Taylor is of the Year Christopher Taylor 2B Telegraph, Times & Monitor B Section Thursday, March 6, 2014 4 07 W.

Its a blessing, Ardley said. Ardley played defensive back and wide receiver at BHS and said he will be a safety at Ellsworth. Bradford assistant coach Josh Burch said Ardley was a huge asset on the defensive side of the ball. This season, in particular, he was Mr. Everything for us on defense, Burch said. Whenever we needed to make a play, he was the one to do it. Ardley said he was surprised he didnt attract interest from other schools. Burch said the Ellsworth coaches felt the same way, telling Reynolds they were BY CLIFF SMELLEY Staff Writer He didnt know if this day would ever arrive, but Bradford High School senior Keaaris Ardley finally got his chance, accepting an offer to play football at Ellsworth Community College in Iowa Falls, Iowa.

Its just to bring about more awareness, promote education and promote a relationship between the fair and the schools since most of the kids spend their spring break here anyway, Theus said. Despite the changes, some things will be the same. Theus said there will always be exhibits, local civic organizations and other sights people expect to see year after year at the fairand thats good. There are some mainstays you want to keep to make it have that homey feel, she said. Theus, though, believes the fair can mix the old and the new and grow into a larger event. That will take some time, though, with community support so critical over the next couple of years. We dont want to lose that small-town, homecoming feel, but we do want to grow, Theus said. I would like to see our attendance be 30,000 to 40,000. I think we can do it. I think thats an achievable goal.

It has been my experience that I had to sign my name in order to get a letter to the editor printed in the paper. This has been the policy and past practice of the Dear Editor: In a Letter to the Editor on February 27, 2014, Concerned Citizens of Union County wanted to know if they have a voice in the matter of who is Sheriff in Union County. Yes they do, on November 4, 2014. Due to recent unfortunate circumstances and as stipulated in Florida Statute, the Governor must appoint the person to fill the office until there is an election and has apparently decided Brad Whitehead was most suited for the time being. Unlike applying for a job as a greeter at Wal-Mart where you apply, interview and possibly get hired, the Sheriff is elected. Minimum qualifications for being a sheriff are that you be 18 years old, a registered voter and a citizen of Florida. In the past, the citizens of Union County have spoken at the polls and elected a father, then a son and the county was well served by both as evidenced by their long years of service. With the current Sheriff having been a law enforcement officer since 1998 as a Fire Marshal and a Inspector Generals Office Senior Inspector having conducted criminal investigations on the street as well as in prisons and routinely worked in cooperation with other federal, state and county agencies, I would hazard a guess he knows his way around the legal processes from commission of the crime, through the courts and to the gates of Union Correctional Institution. His years of experience as an Assistant Warden reveals a demonstrated ability to supervise a much larger group of diverse personnel than found in our small Sheriffs Office. If he has a desire to run in November, Ill vote for him. Everyone else can vote for whom they choose and well see how it shakes out. Its the American way, love it or leave it. Jack Schenck Lake Butler Election is voice for concerned citizens Dont base vote for UC sheriff on last name, concerned citizens Dear Editor: We live in a time where controversy manifests in every thing we do in life. I listen to the News from Jacksonville and other high crime areas around the United States and overseas and count my blessings that I live in Mayberry People can make fun of our town if they find that it brings them joy, but when my grandchildren go to school and I see the sheriffs department watching over all the school zones equally and diligently I feel relieved. We moved here when I was twelve years old and I had been enrolled in more than twenty one different schools by the seventh grade. My Father was looking for his calling and a place that felt like home. I didnt know it at the time but that was what was happening in our life. He was introduced to a law enforcement officer from this county, Carl Miles, who was the investigator at that time. My dad sold him a motorhome and they became hunting buddys. Well, he offered my dad a job here as a deputy To concerned citizens: Give sheriff a chance and he was hooked/ reeled in the boat, and deep fried Lake Butler style. Sheriff John Whitehead and his family took us under their wing and we found home. My daddy flourished and became a top notch investigator and interrogator as well. He went to schools and became a finger print analysis expert and as they say, he always got his man or woman as the case may be. He never aspired to be Sheriff, I think it was because working for Sheriff John and then Sheriff Jerry Whitehead my father had too much respect for either of them to even consider doing the job they did wholeheartedly. So, this brings me to the point which has been thrown out for the wolves to chew on, how did we get our current Sheriff. I believe in a lot of things, and until proven different I stand firm on my convictions/ common sense, and knowledge of small town life. The Sheriffs position is not a monarchy, and you the concerned citizens who will not even sign your name to an editorial want us to listen to you, I fear that you believe yourself to be above all others and your excellence in character gives you authority to belittle our newly appointed Sheriff. He came into the office filled with people who had grown up with his father and worked for his grandfather and on the heels of his fathers death, tried to restore continued protection for our county. You speak that he has no education, well it is a known fact that he has worked in the Corrections Department for quite some time and he is willing and able to attend and learn just like his father did all that is required to fill the shoes of a good and fair Sheriff. Lake Butler is a small town, a comfortable place where we all know each other. Church bells ring out on Sunday mornings and our community is rich in interest for our youth and elderly. The legacy of the Whitehead Family is a tradition that has shaped and given our county whats left of the hope of America. We can let our kids play outside, walk at night the sidewalks, and know all the workers in every business in the county by first name. I dont want to live in a place that you have to have bars on your windows, or cant open your doors and windows for fresh air, and especially not in a town where I cant walk into the Sheriffs office and find smiling faces prepared to help with trivial events. I am going to close shortly, my husband tells everyone when they ask us where do we live, he says, In Gods Country/ and he means it. If people are not comfortable with small town life then they should move to an area where they can put dead bolts/ slide locks, and a vicious bulldog chained to the steps to keep away criminals who are on the prowl. For the sake of our wonderful community here and our children/ and hopefully one day their children/ let this community give our new Sheriff time to prove that he is me man for the job. Let him show us his aspirations and let him be an inspiration to all our familys in this county. We support him in all that he does/ and we support the Sheriffs office and all of its employees. Open your eyes and look with hope, not hate and malice. If you want a chance to make your voice heard then make an appropriate request for town / county meeting where we can all gather at appointed time and let your questions be legitimate and formally introduced so that our new Sheriff can give you the answer that you desire. I pray and find my strength in the knowledge that what will be is in Gods plan. Let your prayer be that you can resolve your issues with the Sheriffs department and let our quiet life and respectable Dear Editor: I realize that I am slow witted and hard headed, but when it comes to capital punishment for atrocious and vicious murders there should be no guessing or questions about its use. The only question about its use is why does it take so long to carry out the punishment. To me, its an abuse of governmental responsibility when it takes ten, fifteen or forty years to carry out such a sentence. It should not take thirty-five thousands a year to keep a prisoner locked up, but it does. To pay this much for one who has been sentenced to die is simply Justice denied. Our governor is carrying out his responsibility when he signs a death warrant. I believe that a person convicted and sentenced to death for a capital crime should exhaust his or her appeals within three years. Anything more than that is an abuse of taxpayers money. I realize that there are those who get wrapped in some distorted moral issue or thinks its the Christian thing to do, but is it? Especially when the type of killing is so atrocious that had they been present when it was a member of their own family, they would not be so soft headed. What really surprises me is for Buster Rahn, who has been involved in the prison system and has read the horrors appearing in a convicted prisoners jacket Only question regarding capital punishment: Why does it take so long? Dear Editor: Mrs. Ripka had a lot of information about medicaid in her letter 2-27-14. I thought maybe she would like some to add to her collection. I am not talking numbers I am giving first hand on the job experience. I am a retired R.N. with 55 years of experience 45 years of that time working in the operating room. In all that time I never saw a person in need of medical care turned away. In the last 30 years I cant give you a number of times (it was great) that I helped do surgery (sometimes life threatening) for people from Canada, England, Spain & other countries that have Socialized Medicine they were put on a list and if they died before they got to the top oh well. I have a friend thats in her 80s that needed a procedure done. She was told due to her age the only thing that was to be done was keep her comfortable, her procedure was too expensive for her age. What good is insurance if a death squad (not medically trained) said too expensive. I wonder if Mrs Ripka has a grandmother or older mom that this might apply to? Matthew 2540 In as much as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren ye have done it unto me. Could apply here too. We are talking take a life? Are the elderly the least of these? P.S. The people from around the world that came to the U.S.A. for help now have nowhere to go. Doris Sandberg, R.N. Nurse speaks to letter on Medicaid Union County Times/Bradford Telegraph. What happened? It is my understanding that Governor Scott heard from numerous concerned citizens in Union County via emails, letters, and telephone calls prior to appointing the new sheriff. I for one wrote a letter to the Governor expressing my voice. The questions that were posed in last weeks letter to the editor would have been better addressed to the Governor. Only he can answer who was granted an interview, why, and what he based his appointment on. I mean no disrespect when I say this, but Brad Whitehead is his own man. He is neither his dad nor his grandfather. I appeal to the citizens of Union County to give him a chance. Let him prove himself and not ride on the laurels of his predecessors. I also strongly encourage any concerned citizens to go sit down and talk with the newly appointed sheriff. Let Brad Whitehead share his heart and the direction that he intends to lead the sheriffs office and this county. In closing, we all have a voice and will have a chance to be heard in the upcoming election. I trust that the people in Union County will vote their convictions based on the job that Brad has or has not done during his appointment..not based solely on the fact that his last name is Whitehead! Margie Coburn Happy citizen of Union County community flourish once again. Yours truly, Terri Cochran Wilson would even believe that such a punishment is overdue. Buster, wake up and count the money being wasted. Malcolm Hill Morgan Road

Kalen McGill hit an RBI double in the top of the sixth to give visiting P.K. Yonge a 2-1 win over Bradford in an earlyseason showdown between two teams with goals of going far in the postseason. The Blue Wave, regional finalists the past two seasons in Class 3A, moved up to Class 4A this season and into District 5 with Bradford, a state semifinalist from last season. McGills hit was just one of three off of Bradford pitcher Ashton Adkins, but it was enough to give P.K. Yonge the early lead in the district with a 5-0 record. Bradford (6-1, 3-1) got an RBI single from Lainie Rodgers, while Lindsey Wiggins was 2-for-3. Prior to playing P.K. Yonge, the Tornadoes recorded wins over Gainesville and Providence. Adkins gave up two hits and no walks, while striking out nine in a 7-0 road win over Gainesville on Feb. 25.

Here Im the one who gets to take the credit, Overstreet said, but actually its the board, the teams and the county who should have the credit, not me. Instead of talking about her role as the event chair, Overstreet would rather tell you just how special Relay for Life is. The American Cancer Society fundraiser has people walking around the Bradford High School track throughout the night, but Overstreet said its worth it when you get the chance to interact with cancer survivors and their caregivers. When its Relay for Life and its 1 in the morning and this survivor comes up to you and says, Thank you, youre no longer tired. Youre no longer sleepy. Youre no longer exhausted. You know that youre there and you have given another person another birthday. 904-368-0687 ph 904-368-0689 f axMARGARE T ANDERSON 101 1 N. Temple Ave. Starke. FL (US 301 North)Family Law & Will Preparation30 years experience Margaret will continue to serve clients in Alachua County as well as Bradford & Union counties Overstreet added, It makes you know that every little thing youve done is worth it. The Bradford County Education Foundation and Altrusa International of Starke are two groups Overstreet is a part of. She is currently serving her second year as president of the education foundation. I am extremely proud of us because there is not a school or a child that the Bradford County Education Foundation does not help, Overstreet said. She has not been a member of the foundation since its inception in 1990, but she has supported it since the beginning by virtue of donating items to its annual silent auction. Sylvia Tatum, who Overstreet described as a special person, asked Overstreet to join the foundation. That was the start of an eye-opening experience seeing what all the foundation does for the countys schools. Overstreet has especially enjoyed seeing the proposals teachers submit as part of the foundations mini-grant program, which funds educational projects in the classroom. She said it has shown her just how much teachers in Bradford County care about their students. These teachers in these schools are dedicated to teaching the children, Overstreet said. Watching and seeing what they feel is a needtheir heart is in teaching. Their heart is in helping a child. Some of Overstreets fellow Bradford County Education Foundation members are also members of Altrusa, which is a wonderful group, Overstreet said. When I think of Altrusa, I think of a body of women that is absolutely the most fantastic group you could ever be with, said Overstreet, who is the groups current first vice president. She has served as second vice president in the past as well as chairing several of the groups events. Altrusa participates in so many special projects throughout the year, Overstreet said, citing Healthy Start as one example, while the group also supports literacy programs and endows Santa Fe College scholarships. Altrusa reaches out and touches so many lives in our community that I dont think people realize just how many lives Altrusa does touch, Overstreet said. Overstreet enjoys working with another special group of women through her involvement at First United Methodist Church of Starke. She is a member of United Methodist Womens Group 5 and is currently the groups treasurer. Group 5 supports various needs throughout the community as well as supporting missions and the United Methodist Committee on Relief. I am very proud of Group 5 because of how our little group of women work, Overstreet said. They put time and effort into the church as well as into the community. Overstreet has been a member of First United Methodist Church of Starke for 42 years. During that time, she got to know several influential ladies, such as Oleeta Hardenbrook and Eloise Loudon. In fact, Loudon was the reason she joined the church. Many special memories are now attached to the church, where she has served on almost every committee and was financial secretary for more than 20 years. Her daughter, Catrell, married Mike Cooney there, while her three grandchildren Morgan, Zach and Harrison were baptized there. Overstreet has been a resident of Bradford County only slightly longer than shes been a member of the First United Methodist of Starke. She and her family moved from Crestview 51 years ago. Overstreets father was at Camp Blanding during the war and had a desire to later return to the area. It was a whole new thing, Overstreet said, but being the people person that I am, it didnt take long to feel I was part of the community. People were very kind to me here. They made me feel welcome and at home. It was while shopping for groceries at Winn-Dixie that Overstreet met Grady, the man who would become her husband. He was stocking shelves at the store and asked Overstreet out for a date when he saw her. By their second date, Grady asked her to marry him. Theyve been married 49 years. Overstreet said her husband has been extremely supportive of her endeavors and deserves a lot of the credit, too, for the things she does. Im the talker, and hes the silent one, but he is that rock I need, Overstreet said. I think if a person does not have that rock, that support, it makes it tough. He has been there. In other words, Grady is just one of many whove helped support Overstreet and have worked alongside her in various projects. Thats why Overstreet will tell you she hasnt done anything to earn an individual honor. I just dont see myself as special, she said. Im just me. The annual Women of Distinction ceremony recognizes outstanding female service in Alachua and Bradford counties, and was created by the Womens History Committee at Santa Fe College in 1987. Women of Distinction has honored more than 100 outstanding women in the community since its inception.

Around this time of the year in North Florida, bucks are in the process of shedding their antlers. These craggy remains are symbols of the male deers virulence as well as the esteem that many hunters hold for the trophy representatives of their species. Shed hunting is actually more popular in northern locations due to the less dense undergrowth and the fast recovery of the undergrowth as spring presents itself. Additionally, the spring reappearance of snakes and insects present objections to the activity. However, for those willing to confront those negative aspects, the activity holds a lot of assets as an outdoor activity. Without the necessary safety precautions that dominate hunting season, shed hunting is a great activity in which all of the family can participate. It can be a great opportunity to expose the younger members of the family to the great outdoors. Furthermore, it can provide the hunter a good assessment of a propertys potential for the following hunting season. Landry also reminds the prospective shed hunter that shed traps can increase ones potential shed find. Shed traps can be made out of tin or fence wire. Wire stretched over a zigzag pattern with a bottom gap can easily ensnare the loose antlers when the buck attempts to take the baited corn that is placed under the wire. Fence lines are also a good place to search. The landing jolt after jumping the fence is often enough to trigger an instant shed. Another aspect of the activity that has gained a lot of footing recently is its compatibility with the family dog. The great physical demand of actually trailing and chasing the deer by dogs requires the gameness of specially bred hounds. However, locating and finding antlers are much more relaxed challenges that many family dogs can adjust to learning quickly. As a matter of fact, the North American Shed Hunting Dog Association was recently organized to encourage the training and performance of dogs at finding and retrieving shed antlers. Various clubs have been organized around the country, and regional contests have been scheduled to recognize the canine skills of shed hunting. The North American Shed Hunting Dog Association has a descriptive and informative website (www.sheddogtrainer. com). It seems that many of the dogs used to compete in association events have good retrieving instincts. Outdoors outlook Spring is on our doorstep. Frogs will soon be laying eggs that will shortly turn into tadpoles. Snakes and other reptiles will soon be crawling. Purple martins and hummingbirds will be returning from Latin and South America. Meanwhile, many of our seasonally winter birds will soon be gone. Youth turkey days (March 8-9) are nearly here, and spring turkey season will follow on March 15. This will be the last opportunity of the 2013-14 hunting season, unless you happen to be hunting rabbits or feral hogs. Joey Tyson says the crappie bite is waning, and more people are fishing bass beds in the shallows. Once the water temperature turns 58 degrees, which most of our lakes have, the smaller bucks will start fanning beds. Once the bed is formed, they will try to attract the larger females to join them. Len Andrews, our seasonal ladder fisherman on Kingsley Lake, recently indicated that he has not located any spawning females in Kingsley yet, and he will know at the same time as the ospreys that search that lake. Kingsley, however, is a coolerwater lake and should follow Sampson, Rowell, Crosby and even Santa Fe in order. Kyle Busby is the inshore fish guide behind the No Big Reel guide services on the east coast, north and south of Palm Coast. Busby suggests that inshore fishermen on both coasts fish the deeper holes for trout, reds, flounder, sheepshead and snook during the periods of heavy rain that we have recently experienced. Unlike the freshwater fish that tend to migrate upstream during wet weather, the salt-water fish will seek saltier water in deep holes due to all the freshwater drainage. For inshore guide services on the east coast, Busby can be reached at 352-745-1266. He especially enjoys putting fishermen on the snook bite. Alvarez to host last pheasant shoot Charles Alvarez has scheduled his last pheasant shoot of the year on Friday, March 14. The ringnecked pheasants are beautiful birds and present a great Kyle Busby with a large overslot red caught in Mosquito Lagoon. Shed hunting: an experience for the whole family (and dogs) challenge for bird hunters. If you are interested in participating, Alvarez can be reached at 352-745-2724. Tight lines until next week.

These meetings are open to the public. City officials will be present discussing city business. Legislators have given the citizens of Hampton a month to put together a plan and meet some specific demands. Hamptons regular monthly meeting will be Tuesday, March 11, at 7 p.m. Worth Noting Overpass on the agendaBY MARK J. CRAWFORD Telegraph Editor Starke City Commissioners were glad to hear March 4 that the Florida Department of Transportation will begin studying one of the citys biggest wish list itemsa railroad overpass. The $220,000 programmed into the FDOT budget will fund the necessary project development and environmental study, which is step one. The lack of a railroad overpass has long been seen as a critical issue for the city and county. Train traffic can block multiple roadways at once and completely prevent emergency services from getting east of the CSX line, obstructing access to the hospital or eastside residents in need of assistance. It is truly a project at its beginning, as FDOTs Jordan Green said they have no idea where the overpass will go. Staff is open to suggestions, he said. The project could be built on an existing road or highway, or encompass constructing a new road. Green said they know the number of trains is going to increase, and that will increase the number of traffic jams. There are some logistical problems to keep in mind. There are standards like height over the railroad that must be considered. The minimum height is 25 feet, Green said, and it will take a good length of roadway to get traffic that high and then back down. FDOT will be talking further with the city about location of the overpass, but Green said it is next to impossible that the project wont impact some homes and businesses. Im not going to sit here and tell you its going to be easy. Its going to be a challenge, he said. Mayor Carolyn Spooner said the fact that its on FDOTs agenda is progress. Election yearAre you considering running?BY MARK J. CRAWFORD Telegraph Editor It may be a midterm election, but some important offices will be filled by voters, including governor of the state and the cabinet positions, congressional representatives, and state representatives. No less important are the local offices up for election. Many Bradford County voters be choosing their county commissioner or school board member. The county commission seats currently held by Doyle Thomas and Danny Riddickthe commissioners for District 2 and District 4will be open. The current terms for school board members from Districts 1, 2 and 5Archie Kittles, Stacey Creighton and Roman Alvarezare also coming to a close. The offices offer the opportunity to serve the community and represent the interests of the voters in those districts as well as citizens countywide. They are also salaried positions. County commissioners currently earn $30,962 a year. School board members earn $26,288. County commission candidates are partisan, which mean the candidates run as members of their political party. School board races are nonpartisan. Candidates can qualify by gathering signatures or by paying a qualifying fee, which is based on the salary of the office. To qualify by petition, local candidates must turn in signatures to the supervisor of elections by noon on May 19. Qualifying week is noon on Monday, June 16, to noon on Friday, June 20, for local offices as well as for governor, the cabinet, and state senator and representative. (The qualifying period for judicial candidates and U.S. representative is noon on April 28 to noon on May 2.) The primary election is on Aug. 26. The general election is on Nov. 4. Early voting before each election will available for a minimum of eight days. The final day to register to vote in the primary is July 28. For the general election, it is Oct. 6.Handbooks and orientationSupervisor of Elections Terry Vaughan has handbooks available for anyone considering a run for local office. Prospective candidates are encouraged to call the elections office at 904-966-6266 to set up an appointment and consultation regarding the handbook. A candidate workshop is scheduled for Monday, April 14, at 6 p.m. in the county commission room, located in the north wing of the courthouse. During the workshop, Vaughan will cover all angles of becoming a candidate, from campaign finance to reporting contributions and expenditures. New laws governing campaigns will also be discussed. BY MARK J. CRAWFORD Telegraph Editor Is a positive story ready to emerge out of Hamptons loads of bad press? The answer is in the hands of its citizens, who were given a month to begin implementing some major changes and put together a plan to address the mismanagement found by a state audit. Sen. Rob Bradley and Rep. Charles Van Zant have kept the ball rolling toward abolishment by approving a local bill to dissolve the city, but that will only move forward to the full legislature if they are unsatisfied with the citizens efforts over the next few weeks. At the well-attended meeting of the legislative delegation on Feb. 27, almost no one spoke against the town, except for the legislators, who sometimes seemed frustrated that the corruption discovered by the audit hadnt infuriated residents. Angry or not, the citizens primary concern was that Hampton not lose its charter. As Myrtice McCullough, the acting mayor, told legislators, other cities have received worse audits, but they were not dissolved. Hampton deserves a chance, she said. Bradley began the meeting by reading about the audit findings and repeating a question he had posed to McCullough in Tallahassee: How does the citys existence improve the quality of life of its 477 residents? She couldnt answer him then. Bradley said the disappearance of one layer of government would not leave residents without services, including water service, the future management of which has been a primary concern. Assets of the city would become county assets, and the county could find another public agency or a private company to administer the water system. The sheriff would provide law enforcement. The U.S. Post Office would remain open, as would the elementary school, said Bradley, who is from unincorporated Fleming Island. You dont lose your sense of community just because an unnecessary layer of government goes away, he said. The actual town will not be abolished, but remain a viable community of citizens, Van Zant said, saying areas like Fleming Island and Middleburg thrive without an additional layer of municipal government.Help usCitizens spent the better part of two hours trying to explain what the city meant to them. That included County Commissioner Danny Riddick, who was involved in bringing complaints about Hamptons government to legislators, but who asked why the drastic step of dissolving the city was being taken REFORM: THE FAIR IS BACK!

Your Husband Truman & FamilyMarch 3, 1938 May 1, 2012 Lake Butler girls take top honorsBY MARK J. CRAWFORD Telegraph Editor Hannah Tucker of Lake Butler became the 52nd Strawberry Queen at the pageant held in Bradford County March 1. While they are also judged on a preshow interview with the judges, contestants are heard only briefly during the on-stage competition. Tucker made the most of her time, responding to an onstage question about role models by talking about the importance of self-confidence and teaching kids to love themselves. Also propelling her to the top was her vocal and guitar performance of the song Jolene by Dolly Parton, which had the audience clapping along. Tucker was voted Miss Congeniality by her fellow contestants, as well. The 23-year-old is the daughter of Jay and Marcie Tucker of Lake Butler. She is a graduate of Union County High School as well as Florida Gateway College, where she was on the Presidents List. She is a substitute teacher in Union County who wants to become a flight paramedic. She was sponsored by Hair Biz and Emerson Nursery and Rental Plants. Winning trophies in the evening gown and talent competitions was 2014 Strawberry Princess Madison Gibson. Madison danced to Seeing for the First Time to reflect her relationship with God. Asked by judges what makes her a good leader, she said she is unique and different, loves God, and helps with her five younger siblings. Madison is the daughter of Bobby and Narie Gibson of Lake Butler and is in the eighth grade at Lake Butler Middle School, where she is president of the Drama Club. She was sponsored by Gene and Shary Gordon and GatorForce Technologies. The princess contest had a runner-up, and it was Lake Butler Middle School eighth-grader Bobbie Grace Barber. Bobbie Grace had the support of the audience, winning the Peoples Choice Award, and impressed the pageant directors as well, taking home their special award. She is the daughter of Robert and Rhonda Barber of Lake Butler, and was sponsored by Decker & Pomeranz Dentistry, and Stan & Bobbie Lehman. Princess contestant Ciarra Hopkins was judged Most Photogenic, while queen contestant Allayna Norris was best dressed among her competition, winning trophies for her casual wear and evening gown. (She was also awarded for ticket sales.) Shelby McDowell won the casual wear award in the princess competition. Also competing were Shannon Rosier, Mykayla McLeod, Farrah Duhart and Ashley OSteen. The pageant organization, Bradford County Community Women, recognized Vorease Jones for her longtime volunteerism and support of the pageant. Last years royals, Kelsey Harrison and Alexa Park, recognized pageant directors Lauren Allen VanDuzer and Tiffany Rowe Gemelli with gifts. Amanda Giddens served as emcee, and students from Kelly Christy Dance Academy gave a special performance. More than $4,000 in prizes were given away, including a $1,500 scholarship and $500 cash prize to the Strawberry Queen and a $500 prize to the Strawberry Princess. become Strawberry Princess.

He also inverted the legislators question about the benefit of Hampton, asking how dissolving the city would benefit residents. A lot of these are my friends. I grew up in Hampton, and Im very, very concerned with whats going to happen to the city, he said. The question of criminal charges came up more than once. Legislators said the state auditing committee had written the state attorneys office about an investigation, and they later voted to send another letter as members of the local legislative delegation. Sheriff Gordon Smith confirmed action is being taken to pursue the people who used the city of Hampton as their own personal pocket book. The citizens wanted justice, but they also asked for mercy and a helping hand. I have no doubt we can make our community operate like a well-oiled machine again and that it would be a benefit, said Lori Hardee. I just think we need the opportunity and the chance to rebuild our community, as well as help from our state representatives. She said if the legislators were right, then the citizens have been victimized by their leadership, but taking the city away would further victimize them. Ada Cox said she was born 65 years ago in Hampton and talked about her familys role in the citys history, including her fathers role in incorporating and running the city. There were no changes overnight, she said, but time brought streetlights, a fire department, recreation and law enforcement. She said the in the last few years, the city has been run by people with big heads who let their greed get in the way. Good leadership, good morals, good government practices is what Hampton needs, Cox said. The people need to vote for the right leaders and make sure there are checks and balances in place so they are accountable, she said. James Parker admitted everyone should have been paying closer attention. Were all guilty, but we all would like another chance, he said. County Commissioner Eddie Lewis, relating the matter to his own experience, said he has lost everything and is scared to death, and the people of Hampton are scared and afraid of what they could lose, too. You need to help them. I want to see you help them if you can, he said.Further accusationsHampton has been vilified in much of the media coverage. One blogger (taking swipe at the city and the state) called Hampton The Most Florida Town Ever. Emory Eunice, who said he doesnt live in the city, took exception to such hyperbole, including the ranking of Hampton by one paper as the states top speed trap. He defended the enforcement of speed limits and said locals shouldnt support the term speed trap and its connotations. Respect of law enforcement should be taught and upheld, he said. He also called out Bradley for referring to Hamptons circumstances as something out of a Southern gothic novel, suggesting its inhabitants are off kilter or amoral. Bradley said he has the utmost respect for the citizens of Hampton, but he said he has been clear in his assessment about the facts concerning the city officials and their behavior. That he views in a very negative light, he said. Eunice went on to say if governments are being dissolved for incompetence, then thats what should happen in Washington, D.C. While he was applauded, Van Zant called him off track and almost out of order. He called on Sheriff Smith to speak to the legality of Hamptons speed enforcement, and he did, detailing the unsworn officers and the tickets written outside the citys jurisdiction. Those actions eventually raised questions about how the entire city was operating, Smith said. Bradley said you couldnt not equate what Hampton was doing to the genuine law enforcement being carried out by agencies like the sheriffs office. This is about a town of 477 people having over a dozen officers. That is insane, folks, Bradley said. It was Van Zants turn to be vilified. David Wilcox called the representative a bully, accusing him of throwing a fit when Hampton ticketed him. Youre not above the law. You have no right to decimate this town because you got a speeding ticket, Wilcox said. Van Zant said his 2011 ticket was not contested. He said he came to the courthouse, checkbook in hand, and paid the fine without further mention. He said he is not a bully, and, holding a thick stack of audit documents up for everyone to see, said this malfeasance is why we are here. What we have is an audit that points to broken laws, he said. Freddy Johnson claimed the audit isnt even complete. He said his wife was originally hired to replace City Clerk Jane Hall. He said the interview process included promising that Halls son would not be fired. Once on the job, he said his wife found documents the auditors had been searching for, but she was not allowed to bring them forward after consulting with the mayor. Then she was fired. He also criticized the city attorney, John Maines, who he said should have known better than to have allowed nepotism and other unlawful practices, particularly considering the money he was paid. But Johnson wasnt necessarily in favor of dissolving the city, saying it was time to get rid of the current officials and start over.Divine intervention?A pair of Baptist preachers spoke last. Aaron Morgan grew up in Hampton, and he said he moved back there because he wanted to make a difference and address what he called the towns spiritual decline. What I know is Hampton is an area of depression. It has lost the grandeur of history. No longer is it the apple of Bradford Countys eye, he said. That leads many to question him about why he wants to be a pastor in Hampton, but he tells them its because they need it. Lets not give up on Hampton, Morgan said. Im trying to do it in a spiritual way, but we need your help to do it in a legislative way. Teach us. We need to be taught instead of smacked. Dan Williams followed, saying the people of Hampton had dropped the ball, but it would be a mistake to assume that the people dont care about their town. Unfortunately, he said, the citys reputation isnt based on the lives, loves and labors of the people who have lived there, giving of themselves to lead the city and raise its children. These are people who are the reason we should save Hampton, he said, adding the towns legacy is alive and well. What can be in the past can be again. Dont take a shotgun to the fly, said Williams, adding cooperation could solve Hamptons problems. He called for less passion and more deliberation. There is talent in this room, and there is talent here that I know can save this town, he said.The verdictLegislators came saying they were here to listen to the public because their minds were not made up. John Wayne Hersey asked them for morethat they specifically lay out what steps need to be taken. Hersey said there were good people in Hampton who did not deserved to be crucified for what others had done. The town was once Bradford Countys Mayberry, he said. Bradley couldnt agree with the sentiment that Hampton should stay just because the people had spoken out. He said there were others who didnt speak up for whatever reason who did not agree, and he said people outside the city are affected by what happens there as well. He offered as an example the citys ignorance of where nearly half the water it pumps out of the ground goes. He wouldnt be doing his duty if he turned a blind eye to that, he said. But Van Zant said he and Bradley were willing to work with the citizens of Hampton to see if the improvements people said were possible could be realized. With that he gave some specific guidelines, first making any future for Hamptons government contingent on the resignation of those in office and the election of a new city council and mayor. Some of you who spoke here tonight and have the character to serve might want to run, Van Zant said. I dont want to see this old crowd back in. If we do, then Im going to push forward with this legislation to dissolve the town. The town must address the water system, including the environmental damage of the water loss. Hampton must also adopt its original boundaries, relinquishing the strip of U.S. 301 it annexed for the purpose of writing speeding tickets. Forget my ticket, Van Zant said. When I got my ticket, you couldnt hardly pass by Hampton, Florida, without getting a ticket. The year before that happened, Hampton wrote nearly 5,000 ticketsmore than almost every other larger city in the state, he said. Thats not law enforcement, he said; its banking using the federal highway system. Van Zant wants the city to go back to its roots with a daytime and a nighttime marshal, and a city clerk with knowledge of accounting. And there should be no more relatives of elected officials on the payroll. I would like to see Hampton thrive. Im willing to help you do that if youre willing to help you do that and start moving in the right direction with the right people doing the right things, Van Zant said. Bradley agreed, saying he heard a lot of promises, but he needs to see action. He said he wants to see people come together, but he also wants to see that they know what they are getting into, including dealing with the cost of running the town. He wanted to see balance between revenues and expenditures, and a plan to eliminate the citys debt. He also admonished the city officials to meet in the sunshine, advertising all of their meetings in the newspaper so the public has adequate notice. I want commitment and a real plan, because the citizens havent gotten that, Bradley said. I want everyone to live in a community that theyre proud of, but everyone has to leave here tonight understanding that what has happened is unacceptable, and it cannot happen ever again. It should outrage you like it outrages me. Bradley and Van Zant plan to return in a few weeks. In the meantime, the city has planned a series of meetings that will begin tonight, Thursday, March 6, at 7 p.m. at Hampton City Hall.HAMPTONContinued from 1A Candidates are encouraged to bring those who plan to play support roles in their campaign to take part in the orientation. To reserve your seat, call the elections office at 904-966-6266.Of the 29 governor candidates with active accounts, most of the attention in the governors race is on incumbent Republican Rick Scott, and Charlie Crist, the former governor who is now a Democrat. Chief Financial Officer Jeff Atwater, Commissioner of Agriculture Adam Putnam and Attorney General Pam Bondi, all Republicans, also have declared opponents. George Sheldon and Perry Thurston Jr. are running for attorney general, William Rankin is running for CFO, and Thad Hamilton is running for the agriculture office. They are all Democrats. According to the Florida Division of Elections incumbent U.S. Rep. Ted Yoho, a Republican, has some competition from Democratic challengers Aquasia Johnson McDowell and Marihelen Wheeler. The district covers all of Bradford, Union, Gilchrist, Columbia, Levy, Suwannee, Dixie, Lafayette and Hamilton counties, as well as most of Clay and Alachua and portions of Marion and Madison. State Rep. Charles Van Zant has no declared opposition right now in District 19, which covers Bradford, Union and Putnam counties, as well as much of Clay. Judges with expiring terms will also be on the ballot.QUALIFYContinued from 1A Election coverage guidelines announced Candidates should take note of submission deadlinesBY MARK J. CRAWFORD Telegraph Editor The management of the Bradford County Telegraph, the Union County Times and the Lake Region Monitor would like to announce guidelines set up for coverage of upcoming elections and election-related events. All three newspapers have a policy of allowing candidates in local county races to submit one free article announcing their candidacy. The announcement can be accompanied by one photograph. This article and photograph will be run free of charge, but no announcement will be run for free after the Thursday, June 26, edition. Preferably, candidate announcements and photos should be emailed to editor@ bctelegraph.com, lrmonitor@ bellsouth.net or uctimes@ windstream.net. Otherwise, articles should be typed and of a reasonable length when submitted directly to one of our offices. (Two double-spaced pages is a good guideline.) Submissions should include a phone number where the candidate can be contacted during business hours in case any question arises. The final day to qualify for local political office by paying qualifying fees is Friday, June 20, at noon. (The final day to qualify by the petition method is May 19.) Therefore, every candidate should be prepared to announce his or her decision to seek office by the Thursday after that final qualifying date. No free announcements will be accepted by the newspaper offices after deadline for the June 26 paper. That means the submission deadline is Monday, June 23, at 5 p.m. We reserve the right to determine when to run these announcements as space availability is a factor. Other guidelines are as follows: No fundraiser for a local candidate will be announced for free or covered by newspaper personnel. Local events where See ELECTION, 8A

4A Bradford County Telegraph Thursday, March 6, 2014 A nniversary CelebrationSunday March 9th 3:30 PMEveryone Welcome!9049645843Pleasant Grove Pleasant GroveUN ITED METHODIST CHURCH School BMS band students excel at competitionOn Feb. 21, 36 Bradford Middle School band students participated in the statesponsored Solo and Ensemble Festival (which was hosted at Buchholz High School in Gainesville). This event is held one time each year and features middle and high school students from across North Central Florida on a volunteer basis. In preparation for the festival, students spend weeks (and sometimes months) selecting literature to perform and practicing alone and with a pianist who will eventually accompany him/her for their final performance, which is always adjudicated by a state certified judge for a published rating. BMS Band Director Michael Loffredo said this extra challenge is not for everyone. Students must work tirelessly to learn new notes, new rhythms and sometimes play completely different styles of music, which certainly goes above and beyond the regular classroom curriculum. This year, a whopping 51 percent of the entire middle school band program signed up and seized the opportunity to learn their solo literature and to represent Bradford County at the competition. Overall, 17 BMS students received a superior (the highest rating given to instrumentalists by the Florida Bandmasters Association). Following, 14 students were awarded an excellent rating, and five received a good rating (on a five-level grading scale). Loffredo, who is in his first year teaching at BMS, said that the students were both excited and well prepared and as ambassadors of the Bradford County School District. The students received many compliments on their good behavior, polite manner and on their playing ability. The BMS Band Program is proud to recognize all of the following superior performances: Luis Castro (6th grade clarinet), Gregory Waring (6th grade clarinet), Zion Council (6th grade clarinet), James Dreyfuss (6th grade alto saxophone), Muskaan Patel (6th grade trumpet), Naomi Stading (6th grade trumpet), Jewel Stifel (6th grade french horn), Summer Atteberry (6th grade trombone), Trevor Pittman (6th grade tuba), Ben Miller (7th grade clarinet), JaQuez Mosley (7th grade tuba), Taylor Moore (7th grade flute), Stephanie Nessmith (7th grade clarinet), Jaleen Lane (7th grade trumpet), Miles Paulmino (7th grade trumpet), Corey Strong (8th grade trumpet) and Isaac Williams (7th grade baritone), as well as the rest of the student performers: Rachel Roper, Christina Traylor, Brittany Murphy, Devin Powell, Dylan Snyder, Todd Smith, Taven Tyson, Mya Kamienowski, Faythlyn Garland, Holly Pendarvis, Bryan Davis, Collin Starling, Caleb Hopkins, Jada Thomas, Vanessa Shoonover, Tylan Davis, Shaytron Cotton, Celeste Holmes and Nicklaus Bailes. Loffredo said the event could not have been possible without the help and dedication of piano accompanists Judy Becker, Dayna Gonzalez and Owen Gonzalez, as well as the band parent chaperones and the overwhelming support from the BMS administration and staff.

Thursday, March 6, 2014 Bradford County Telegraph 5A Y Across the Garden Fence Z Across the Garden Fence is sponsored by the Bradford County Extension Service. Readers who wish to pose gardening questions should forward them to Jim DeValerio at jtd@ufl.edu. Finally it is warming up and plants and insects both will soon be activated by the wonderful weather. This has prompted me to share an article penned by Master Gardener Volunteer Wendy Helmey-Hartman (who is an expert on insects) for the Cutting Edge Extension newsletter. If you spend any time in the garden or digging in the dirt around your home you have surely seen this strange looking insect with a pincher on its rear end! Many believe that all insects are bad but this is not true. Most insects exist without affecting humans. Many are beneficial and relatively few are harmful. Read on to learn about the good and not-so-good qualities of earwigs! EarwigsIn Florida, we typically find two different species of earwigs: the ring-legged earwig and the European earwig. Although the ring-legged earwig is more common than the European earwig, neither species is usually found in large numbers in Florida. Both species of earwigs are usually brown in color and approximately inch in length as adults. They can live more than 200 days as adults. Their most prominent feature is a pair of pincer-like projections (known as cerci) from the posterior end of the adults. These cerci can be used for defense, frequently against another earwig. The juvenile earwigs (nymphs) are similar in appearance to the adults but smaller. The eggs are pale in color and are deposited in the soil. Interestingly, the mother earwig tends the eggs, protecting them both from mold and predators. Earwigs are primarily active at night but can be found in dark locations, such as leaf litter and under rocks, during the day. When active, earwigs will feed on both plant and animal matter. These insects can be minor pests on plants such as lettuce, radish, potato and cauliflower. They will feed both below ground and above ground on plants. However, they are also beneficial predators of other plant pests such as aphids, caterpillar pupae and scale insects. Earwigs can also be cannibalistic. Earwigs do not normally need to be artificially suppressed. The natural enemies of earwigs are primarily parasitic flies and fungi. However, the cannibalistic behavior of adult earwigs also regulates the survival of eggs and nymphs. Earwigs are also typically susceptible to residual insecticides as well as baits for control of mole crickets. If earwig abundance is a problem, moistened rolled newspapers can be placed in a garden overnight and disposed of as the newspaper makes a convenient trap. Earwigs have an interesting appearance and rarely cause significant damage in a home garden. In fact, they often provide a valuable service as predators of other garden pests. As a result, earwigs are likely an insect that you can enjoy seeing in your garden (if youre up at night or looking in dark hiding places)! Church First Presbyterian Church of Starke 921 E.

Construction will be bid sometime after July 1, 2015. Per the governors mandate, FDOT is as concerned with economic development as any other state agency. The economy is built on people spending money, and Green said FDOT does its share. In this district alone, FDOT will be spending approximately $900 million this year on 80 transportation projects that create jobs. The bypass was designed to help, not hurt, the local economy, Green said, by relieving congestion and preventing gridlock. Green spoke about the Southeast 144th Avenue project, as well. It will also impact Starke by moving the Deerfoot Shopping Center traffic signal north to tie into the countys final construction on 144th, which will provide another bridge between S.R. 100 and U.S. 301 and ease congestion at 301 and S.R. 100. The route, which will take 144th between IHOP and VyStar, seems extreme, but it eliminates other unwanted impacts to neighborhoods, Green said. That project will be bid sometime after July 1 of this year.

people I work with that do the work. I just feel like they let me think Im in charge. Overstreet laughed at that last comment before adding that its her husband, Grady, family and friends who allow her to do anything. When youre blessed with that, you just get things done, Overstreet said. Ive been very, very lucky to have a support group that has helped me to grow and to expand my world. Its the same approach Overstreet takes in regard to the Bradford County Relay for Life. She served as the chair of the event in 2012 and 2013, BY CLIFF SMELLEY Staff Writer Dimple Overstreet has always been one to get involved in various activities, trying to make the community a better place or helping others, whatever their needs may be. However, it has never been just Overstreet alone. Thats why she doesnt believe shes worthy of being singled out. Cheryl Canova, who has worked alongside Overstreet in various projects and groups, felt otherwise and successfully nominated her for Santa Fe Colleges annual Women of Distinction honor. Overstreet and Alachua County residents Patti Fabiani, Margaret Maples Gilliland, Shelley Fraser Mickle and Yvonne C. Rawls, along with Woman of Promise Haley Johnson, will be recognized during a Thursday, March 13, ceremony at the Fine Arts Hall on Santa Fes Northwest Campus in Gainesville at 5 p.m. Canova said Overstreet is deserving of the honor because of all the work she does in the community, much of which is behind the scenes. She should be recognized for her service to the community, Canova said. Overstreet said it means a lot that someone like Canova, who does so much for the community in her own right, would consider her worthy of such an honor. To know that someone like her, who is fantastic in this community, wouldve even considered methat right there was the honor without even going any farther, Overstreet said. Overstreet, though, just cant see what shes done to earn such an honor. I look at it as I do not do anything, she said. Its the Overstreet is 1 of 5 Women of DistinctionDeggeller goes, Hey, thats going to be a good little fair. Why dont we bring this and this? Still, Theus is happy with what Deggeller Attractions is providing this year rides that include Vertigo, a set of swings that tower over the midway, and bumper cars, which the Bradford County Fair hasnt had in some time, Theus said. (A complete list of rides can be viewed on the website www. bradfordcountyfair.net.) Theus is excited about creating different themes for the fair. This years fair is billed as The Bradford Big Top and will feature a circus theme. Helping bring the big top to life will be Nojoes Clown Circus, which features trapeze performances and, of course, clown acts and activities, such as juggling. I saw them at the Jacksonville Fair, and I thought they were really good, Theus said. This years fair will include educational opportunities for children. Fifth-graders received fair passports at school and will fill them out by visiting the trivia boards in the fairs barns and buildings. Students will turn their passports into their teachers for a chance to win a $50 savings bond from Capital City Bank. Children of various ages will get the chance to win BY CLIFF SMELLEY Staff Writer This years Bradford County Fair includes a bit of the familiar, but manager Laura Theus is excited about whats different this year. The fair opens Tuesday, March 11, at 5 p.m. and runs through Sunday, March 16. That, itself, is a change as most recent fairs have been 10 days long. A six-day fair is more likely to have more people present at any given time, Theus said. That, she believes, will create a buzz and make for a more fun event. People will typically come out two, sometimes three, times to the fair, Theus said. When its spread out across 10 days, the crowd looks thin. Its always a lot more fun when there are more people. Another change Theus is excited about is a new midway provider in Deggeller Attractions, the same company that provides the midway for the Clay County Fair. Theus believes Deggeller Attractions will help the Bradford County Fair look better. In time, Deggeller could provide the fair with better rides that people arent used to seeing year after year, but Theus said it will take the support of the community to help bring that about. In other words, the community has to show Deggeller Attractions that the Bradford County Fair can grow and be successful. It may not be everything theyre hoping for, Theus said in regard to the communitys response to this years midway, but were hoping to grow. We need people to come out to our fair in droves this year.

The Coast Guard 17th District 2013 Enlisted Petty Officer of the Year is Petty Officer 1st Class Christopher Taylor, a Melrose native serving as the engineering petty officer at Station Ketchikan, Alaska. ( ( Taylors nomination came as a result of his outstanding work maintaining Station Ketchikans 47and 25-foot small boats and the time he has devoted to his shipmates and the community of Ketchikan. ( ( Petty Officer Taylor flawlessly manages his duties as the engineering petty officer, said Senior Chief Petty Officer Kevin Smith, commanding officer, Station Ketchikan. His work ensures Station Ketchikan has top performing assets able to respond to mariners in distress and he is fully engaged in the mentorship and care for his subordinates, better preparing the next generation of petty officers for leading in the Coast Guard. ( ( Besides serving as co-chair of the Leadership Diversity Advisory Committee for all Ketchikan units, Taylor personally mentored 40 of his shipmates in physical fitness as Station Ketchikans unit health promotion coordinator, managed a five-day training period for 22 students of the Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps and served as an active member of the Coast Guard Enlisted Association. However, Taylors time wasnt solely devoted to aiding his shipmates. ( ( Petty Officer Taylor spends an enormous amount of time improving the community of Ketchikan through his many volunteer activities, said Smith. As an active member of many organizations, he leads by example and is truly leaving Ketchikan better than he found it. In addition to his many contributions to the Coast Guard, Taylor found time to join the Ketchikan Rotary and the South Tongass Volunteer Fire Department.

Its just to bring about more awareness, promote education and promote a relationship between the fair and the schools since most of the kids spend their spring break here anyway, Theus said. Despite the changes, some things will be the same. Theus said there will always be exhibits, local civic organizations and other sights people expect to see year after year at the fairand thats good. There are some mainstays you want to keep to make it have that homey feel, she said. Theus, though, believes the fair can mix the old and the new and grow into a larger event. That will take some time, though, with community support so critical over the next couple of years. We dont want to lose that small-town, homecoming feel, but we do want to grow, Theus said. I would like to see our attendance be 30,000 to 40,000. I think we can do it. I think thats an achievable goal.

Due to recent unfortunate circumstances and as stipulated in Florida Statute, the Governor must appoint the person to fill the office until there is an election and has apparently decided Brad Whitehead was most suited for the time being. Unlike applying for a job as a greeter at Wal-Mart where you apply, interview and possibly get hired, the Sheriff is elected. Minimum qualifications for being a sheriff are that you be 18 years old, a registered voter and a citizen of Florida. In the past, the citizens of Union County have spoken at the polls and elected a father, then a son and the county was well served by both as evidenced by their long years of service. With the current Sheriff having been a law enforcement officer since 1998 as a Fire Marshal and a Inspector Generals Office Senior Inspector having conducted criminal investigations on the street as well as in prisons and routinely worked in cooperation with other federal, state and county agencies, I would hazard a guess he knows his way around the legal processes from commission of the crime, through the courts and to the gates of Union Correctional Institution. His years of experience as an Assistant Warden reveals a demonstrated ability to supervise a much larger group of diverse personnel than found in our small Sheriffs Office. If he has a desire to run in November, Ill vote for him. Everyone else can vote for whom they choose and well see how it shakes out. Its the American way, love it or leave it. Jack Schenck Lake ButlerElection is voice for concerned citizens Dont base vote for UC sheriff on last name, concerned citizensDear Editor: We live in a time where controversy manifests in every thing we do in life. I listen to the News from Jacksonville and other high crime areas around the United States and overseas and count my blessings that I live in Mayberry People can make fun of our town if they find that it brings them joy, but when my grandchildren go to school and I see the sheriffs department watching over all the school zones equally and diligently I feel relieved. We moved here when I was twelve years old and I had been enrolled in more than twenty one different schools by the seventh grade. My Father was looking for his calling and a place that felt like home. I didnt know it at the time but that was what was happening in our life. He was introduced to a law enforcement officer from this county, Carl Miles, who was the investigator at that time. My dad sold him a motorhome and they became hunting buddys. Well, he offered my dad a job here as a deputy To concerned citizens: Give sheriff a chanceand he was hooked/ reeled in the boat, and deep fried Lake Butler style. Sheriff John Whitehead and his family took us under their wing and we found home. My daddy flourished and became a top notch investigator and interrogator as well. He went to schools and became a finger print analysis expert and as they say, he always got his man or woman as the case may be. He never aspired to be Sheriff, I think it was because working for Sheriff John and then Sheriff Jerry Whitehead my father had too much respect for either of them to even consider doing the job they did wholeheartedly. So, this brings me to the point which has been thrown out for the wolves to chew on, how did we get our current Sheriff. I believe in a lot of things, and until proven different I stand firm on my convictions/ common sense, and knowledge of small town life. The Sheriffs position is not a monarchy, and you the concerned citizens who will not even sign your name to an editorial want us to listen to you, I fear that you believe yourself to be above all others and your excellence in character gives you authority to belittle our newly appointed Sheriff. He came into the office filled with people who had grown up with his father and worked for his grandfather and on the heels of his fathers death, tried to restore continued protection for our county. You speak that he has no education, well it is a known fact that he has worked in the Corrections Department for quite some time and he is willing and able to attend and learn just like his father did all that is required to fill the shoes of a good and fair Sheriff. Lake Butler is a small town, a comfortable place where we all know each other. Church bells ring out on Sunday mornings and our community is rich in interest for our youth and elderly. The legacy of the Whitehead Family is a tradition that has shaped and given our county whats left of the hope of America. We can let our kids play outside, walk at night the sidewalks, and know all the workers in every business in the county by first name. I dont want to live in a place that you have to have bars on your windows, or cant open your doors and windows for fresh air, and especially not in a town where I cant walk into the Sheriffs office and find smiling faces prepared to help with trivial events. I am going to close shortly, my husband tells everyone when they ask us where do we live, he says, In Gods Country/ and he means it. If people are not comfortable with small town life then they should move to an area where they can put dead bolts/ slide locks, and a vicious bulldog chained to the steps to keep away criminals who are on the prowl. For the sake of our wonderful community here and our children/ and hopefully one day their children/ let this community give our new Sheriff time to prove that he is me man for the job. Let him show us his aspirations and let him be an inspiration to all our familys in this county. We support him in all that he does/ and we support the Sheriffs office and all of its employees. Open your eyes and look with hope, not hate and malice. If you want a chance to make your voice heard then make an appropriate request for town / county meeting where we can all gather at appointed time and let your questions be legitimate and formally introduced so that our new Sheriff can give you the answer that you desire. I pray and find my strength in the knowledge that what will be is in Gods plan. Let your prayer be that you can resolve your issues with the Sheriffs department and let our quiet life and respectable Dear Editor: I realize that I am slow witted and hard headed, but when it comes to capital punishment for atrocious and vicious murders there should be no guessing or questions about its use. The only question about its use is why does it take so long to carry out the punishment. To me, its an abuse of governmental responsibility when it takes ten, fifteen or forty years to carry out such a sentence. It should not take thirty-five thousands a year to keep a prisoner locked up, but it does. To pay this much for one who has been sentenced to die is simply Justice denied. Our governor is carrying out his responsibility when he signs a death warrant. I believe that a person convicted and sentenced to death for a capital crime should exhaust his or her appeals within three years. Anything more than that is an abuse of taxpayers money. I realize that there are those who get wrapped in some distorted moral issue or thinks its the Christian thing to do, but is it? Especially when the type of killing is so atrocious that had they been present when it was a member of their own family, they would not be so soft headed. What really surprises me is for Buster Rahn, who has been involved in the prison system and has read the horrors appearing in a convicted prisoners jacket Only question regarding capital punishment: Why does it take so long?Dear Editor: Mrs. Ripka had a lot of information about medicaid in her letter 2-27-14. I thought maybe she would like some to add to her collection. I am not talking numbers I am giving first hand on the job experience. I am a retired R.N. with 55 years of experience 45 years of that time working in the operating room. In all that time I never saw a person in need of medical care turned away. In the last 30 years I cant give you a number of times (it was great) that I helped do surgery (sometimes life threatening) for people from Canada, England, Spain & other countries that have Socialized Medicine they were put on a list and if they died before they got to the top oh well. I have a friend thats in her 80s that needed a procedure done. She was told due to her age the only thing that was to be done was keep her comfortable, her procedure was too expensive for her age. What good is insurance if a death squad (not medically trained) said too expensive. I wonder if Mrs Ripka has a grandmother or older mom that this might apply to? Matthew 2540 In as much as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren ye have done it unto me. Could apply here too. We are talking take a life? Are the elderly the least of these? P.S. The people from around the world that came to the U.S.A. for help now have nowhere to go. Doris Sandberg, R.N.Nurse speaks to letter on MedicaidUnion County Times/Bradford Telegraph. What happened? It is my understanding that Governor Scott heard from numerous concerned citizens in Union County via emails, letters, and telephone calls prior to appointing the new sheriff. I for one wrote a letter to the Governor expressing my voice. The questions that were posed in last weeks letter to the editor would have been better addressed to the Governor. Only he can answer who was granted an interview, why, and what he based his appointment on. I mean no disrespect when I say this, but Brad Whitehead is his own man. He is neither his dad nor his grandfather. I appeal to the citizens of Union County to give him a chance. Let him prove himself and not ride on the laurels of his predecessors. I also strongly encourage any concerned citizens to go sit down and talk with the newly appointed sheriff. Let Brad Whitehead share his heart and the direction that he intends to lead the sheriffs office and this county. In closing, we all have a voice and will have a chance to be heard in the upcoming election. I trust that the people in Union County will vote their convictions based on the job that Brad has or has not done during his appointment..not based solely on the fact that his last name is Whitehead! Margie Coburn Happy citizen of Union County community flourish once again. Yours truly, Terri Cochran Wilson would even believe that such a punishment is overdue. Buster, wake up and count the money being wasted. Malcolm Hill Morgan Road

In fact, the $72,000-plus raised last year was the most ever raised in Bradford County. Here Im the one who gets to take the credit, Overstreet said, but actually its the board, the teams and the county who should have the credit, not me. Instead of talking about her role as the event chair, Overstreet would rather tell you just how special Relay for Life is. The American Cancer Society fundraiser has people walking around the Bradford High School track throughout the night, but Overstreet said its worth it when you get the chance to interact with cancer survivors and their caregivers. When its Relay for Life and its 1 in the morning and this survivor comes up to you and says, Thank you, youre no longer tired. Youre no longer sleepy. Youre no longer exhausted. You know that youre there and you have given another person another birthday. 904-368-0687 ph 904-368-0689 faxMARGARET ANDERSON 1011 N. Temple Ave. Starke. FL (US 301 North)Family Law & Will Preparation30 years experience Margaret will continue to serve clients in Alachua County as well as Bradford & Union counties Overstreet added, It makes you know that every little thing youve done is worth it. The Bradford County Education Foundation and Altrusa International of Starke are two groups Overstreet is a part of. She is currently serving her second year as president of the education foundation. I am extremely proud of us because there is not a school or a child that the Bradford County Education Foundation does not help, Overstreet said. She has not been a member of the foundation since its inception in 1990, but she has supported it since the beginning by virtue of donating items to its annual silent auction. Sylvia Tatum, who Overstreet described as a special person, asked Overstreet to join the foundation. That was the start of an eye-opening experience seeing what all the foundation does for the countys schools. Overstreet has especially enjoyed seeing the proposals teachers submit as part of the foundations mini-grant program, which funds educational projects in the classroom. She said it has shown her just how much teachers in Bradford County care about their students. These teachers in these schools are dedicated to teaching the children, Overstreet said. Watching and seeing what they feel is a needtheir heart is in teaching. Their heart is in helping a child. Some of Overstreets fellow Bradford County Education Foundation members are also members of Altrusa, which is a wonderful group, Overstreet said. When I think of Altrusa, I think of a body of women that is absolutely the most fantastic group you could ever be with, said Overstreet, who is the groups current first vice president. She has served as second vice president in the past as well as chairing several of the groups events. Altrusa participates in so many special projects throughout the year, Overstreet said, citing Healthy Start as one example, while the group also supports literacy programs and endows Santa Fe College scholarships. Altrusa reaches out and touches so many lives in our community that I dont think people realize just how many lives Altrusa does touch, Overstreet said. Overstreet enjoys working with another special group of women through her involvement at First United Methodist Church of Starke. She is a member of United Methodist Womens Group 5 and is currently the groups treasurer. Group 5 supports various needs throughout the community as well as supporting missions and the United Methodist Committee on Relief. I am very proud of Group 5 because of how our little group of women work, Overstreet said. They put time and effort into the church as well as into the community. Overstreet has been a member of First United Methodist Church of Starke for 42 years. During that time, she got to know several influential ladies, such as Oleeta Hardenbrook and Eloise Loudon. In fact, Loudon was the reason she joined the church. Many special memories are now attached to the church, where she has served on almost every committee and was financial secretary for more than 20 years. Her daughter, Catrell, married Mike Cooney there, while her three grandchildren Morgan, Zach and Harrison were baptized there. Overstreet has been a resident of Bradford County only slightly longer than shes been a member of the First United Methodist of Starke. She and her family moved from Crestview 51 years ago. Overstreets father was at Camp Blanding during the war and had a desire to later return to the area. It was a whole new thing, Overstreet said, but being the people person that I am, it didnt take long to feel I was part of the community. People were very kind to me here. They made me feel welcome and at home. It was while shopping for groceries at Winn-Dixie that Overstreet met Grady, the man who would become her husband. He was stocking shelves at the store and asked Overstreet out for a date when he saw her. By their second date, Grady asked her to marry him. Theyve been married 49 years. Overstreet said her husband has been extremely supportive of her endeavors and deserves a lot of the credit, too, for the things she does. Im the talker, and hes the silent one, but he is that rock I need, Overstreet said. I think if a person does not have that rock, that support, it makes it tough. He has been there. In other words, Grady is just one of many whove helped support Overstreet and have worked alongside her in various projects. Thats why Overstreet will tell you she hasnt done anything to earn an individual honor. I just dont see myself as special, she said. Im just me.

Welch passed away Feb. 25, 2014 at his home in Brooker, (New River Area); he was with family at his home. Donald was known to be a hard working man. He was always going 90 miles a minute at anything he did. He was known for saying, Daylight is burnin darks a comin, and that is how he lived his life up until his last days. It gave him great joy to know he would soon be going home. Donald worked for 13 years for Bradford Furniture in Starke in his early life. He farmed all of his life in some way. He was known for many years as being a hog farmer while he lived in Union County, on the farm he grew up. In 1977, he and his family moved to Bradford County in the New River Area, where he bought a chicken farm. He was a chicken farmer until 1992. Also during this time he started driving a semi with his nephew, Johnny Welch and they went all over the United States making deliveries.

During those 20 years he still was farming: raising goats, hogs, chickens, ducks, geese, and always had a huge vegetable garden in the spring and summer. During his life in Brooker a family came to work for him in 1982 and part of them have continued to work for him. Rachel was his caregiver during the 10 months he was sick, and Ernie has been his right hand man since he was 4 yrs old. Donald married Beverly Green from Brooker on April 7, 1960 at New River Baptist Church. Together they had four daughters. Donald was a loving husband and father, a good provider, and a wonderful teacher about life lessons. He raised his daughters to always love, care, and help everyone no matter if they were rich or poor and the persons race was never to be a question as to if you helped them.

Around this time of the year in North Florida, bucks are in the process of shedding their antlers. These craggy remains are symbols of the male deers virulence as well as the esteem that many hunters hold for the trophy representatives of their species. Shed hunting is actually more popular in northern locations due to the less dense undergrowth and the fast recovery of the undergrowth as spring presents itself. Additionally the spring reappearance of snakes and insects present objections to the activity. However, for those willing to confront those negative aspects, the activity holds a lot of assets as an outdoor activity. Without the necessary safety precautions that dominate hunting season, shed hunting is a great activity in which all of the family can participate. It can be a great opportunity to expose the younger members of the family to the great outdoors. Furthermore, it can provide the hunter a good assessment of a propertys potential for the following hunting season. Landry also reminds the prospective shed hunter that shed traps can increase ones potential shed find. Shed traps can be made out of tin or fence wire. Wire stretched over a zigzag pattern with a bottom gap can easily ensnare the loose antlers when the buck attempts to take the baited corn that is placed under the wire. Fence lines are also a good place to search. The landing jolt after jumping the fence is often enough to trigger an instant shed. Another aspect of the activity that has gained a lot of footing recently is its compatibility with the family dog. The great physical demand of actually trailing and chasing the deer by dogs requires the gameness of specially bred hounds. However, locating and finding antlers are much more relaxed challenges that many family dogs can adjust to learning quickly. As a matter of fact, the North American Shed Hunting Dog Association was recently organized to encourage the training and performance of dogs at finding and retrieving shed antlers. Various clubs have been organized around the country, and regional contests have been scheduled to recognize the canine skills of shed hunting. The North American Shed Hunting Dog Association has a descriptive and informative website (www.sheddogtrainer. com). It seems that many of the dogs used to compete in association events have good retrieving instincts.Outdoors outlook Spring is on our doorstep. Frogs will soon be laying eggs that will shortly turn into tadpoles. Snakes and other reptiles will soon be crawling. Purple martins and hummingbirds will be returning from Latin and South America. Meanwhile, many of our seasonally winter birds will soon be gone. Youth turkey days (March 8-9) are nearly here, and spring turkey season will follow on March 15. This will be the last opportunity of the 2013-14 hunting season, unless you happen to be hunting rabbits or feral hogs. Joey Tyson says the crappie bite is waning, and more people are fishing bass beds in the shallows. Once the water temperature turns 58 degrees, which most of our lakes have, the smaller bucks will start fanning beds. Once the bed is formed, they will try to attract the larger females to join them. Len Andrews, our seasonal ladder fisherman on Kingsley Lake, recently indicated that he has not located any spawning females in Kingsley yet, and he will know at the same time as the ospreys that search that lake. Kingsley, however, is a coolerwater lake and should follow Sampson, Rowell, Crosby and even Santa Fe in order. Kyle Busby is the inshore fish guide behind the No Big Reel guide services on the east coast, north and south of Palm Coast. Busby suggests that inshore fishermen on both coasts fish the deeper holes for trout, reds, flounder, sheepshead and snook during the periods of heavy rain that we have recently experienced. Unlike the freshwater fish that tend to migrate upstream during wet weather, the salt-water fish will seek saltier water in deep holes due to all the freshwater drainage. For inshore guide services on the east coast, Busby can be reached at 352-745-1266. He especially enjoys putting fishermen on the snook bite. Alvarez to host last pheasant shootCharles Alvarez has scheduled his last pheasant shoot of the year on Friday, March 14. The ringnecked pheasants are beautiful birds and present a great Kyle Busby with a large overslot red caught in Mosquito Lagoon.Shed hunting: an experience for the whole family (and dogs)challenge for bird hunters. If you are interested in participating, Alvarez can be reached at 352-745-2724. Tight lines until next week.
